Uh quick and dirty, select the text than stroke it or whatever a few pixels fill it black on a new layer, and then put the layer behind the text.

I'm assuming the 'stroking' process extends the type boundary out a few pixels. How do I control this?

you can apply a Stroke layer effect, click on yr type layer and click the little ƒ at the bottom of yr layers pallette

I find that duplicating the text layer and applying the stroke to the bottom most layer yields better results.

hahaha, I just wanted you to google "stroke technique" to get back probably a whole bunch of weird results, haha.
the "stroke" function is under the Edit menu.
You are going to want to choose your colour, then how many pixels out you want, and make it "outside" your selection.
